Book Reviews of The Tale of the Despereaux
Book Review: A MUST read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was amazing. It is destined to become a family classic. While I was not quite as impressed by the movie... the book was compelling. Ms. DiCamillo has woven a magnificant tapistry of syntax. Her method of story telling is enchanting. All of my children, ages 6 - 15 (and even myself), were captivated by this story. It is an easy read for younger children and yet compelling enough to appeal to older ones.
Enough wonderful things can not be said about this book and this author's gift for sharing such a special adventure. It is a must have for every home library.
If possible, read the book before you watch the movie.
